In November 2024, we accomplished our Conrad Challenge: completing an extraordinary journey to visit every Conrad hotel around the world. Our journey concluded with an unforgettable stay at Conrad Pune, where we reflected on this extraordinary adventure. It all began in December 2019, at Conrad Centennial Singapore, with a warm welcome, a lovely teddy bear, and exceptional service.
How It All Began
Our first stay at Conrad impressed us so much that we quickly started looking into other Conrad hotels. What began as a fun idea—visiting more Conrad locations to enjoy their unique luxury and service—soon became something more.
As we traveled, we discovered that every Conrad hotel offered outstanding service, spacious and beautifully designed rooms, amazing dining, and something extra—the signature stuffed toy, which always reminds you of your stay. It didn’t take long before we set ourselves a goal: to complete the Conrad Challenge—a mission to visit every Conrad hotel in the world, collecting memories and, of course, Conrad stuffed toys along the way.
The Role of Conrad Stuffed Toys
What makes Conrad hotels even more memorable? Their unique stuffed toys! From the pink teddy bear at Conrad Seoul to the Dongbei tiger at Conrad Shenyang, these adorable mascots added a playful touch to our stays. Nearly every Conrad hotel offers a different stuffed toy, making them wonderful keepsakes that tell the story of our journey.
We now have a dedicated section on our website showcasing these treasures, from the colourful elephans of Conrad Bangkok to the elegant prototypes we previewed at Conrad Bahrain.
Highlights of the Challenge
Starting in 2023, we made it our mission to plan travels around visiting as many Conrad hotels as possible. Each stay brought new experiences:
- Luxury on the Water: Overwater villas at Conrad Maldives Rangali Island
- Natural Beauty: The one-of-a-kind charm of Conrad Jiuzhaigou
- Urban Elegance: Stunning views and the exclusive Executive Lounge at Conrad Osaka
From Asia to Europe, the Americas, and beyond, each Conrad hotel became a destination of its own.
Looking Back: What We Learned
The Conrad Challenge has been more than just visiting luxury hotels—it’s been about embracing adventure, enjoying new cultures, and making unforgettable memories. Each stay reminded us that travel is not just about the places you visit, it’s about the experiences that connect us to the world.
